For Christmas this year I'm making window decorations of figures from the Nutcracker ballet. They will be about 3 ft high and 18 of them so that every window on my enclosed front porch and my living room will have two figures in it. (My living room of 16 x 32 has floor to ceiling windows.) While making these I wonder if one could make a war game based on the Nutcracker. Throw in Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake too! Hmmm.. Hansel and Gretel and Peter and the Wolf too? No combat, just who lives happily ever after with whom? Hmmm… |

The Nutcracker does have the battle between the toy soldiers and the mice. |

The Nutcracker could have used some air support,I've always said. |

Ummm… No… you all have terribly missed the point. The game is to make a nice story- no war, no violence, no stuff like that. Otto |

It's a neat idea, to bad no one makes 28mm nutcrackers.
I have thought of doing the same with a Christmas game but all the Santas are to heavily armed. |

But I always root for the rats when I see the Nutcracker =^,^= |

> The game is to make a nice story- no war, no violence, no stuff like that. There was an advertisement a few days back for a "Pride and Prejudice" game. If that can be done then I suppose any of the topics you picked are possible to. |

Dear Tim Ummm… OK you got me. I was deficient in my post. I'm hoisted on my own definition. I wrote it hastily. What I guess I mean is a game with a lot of the physical elements of a war game, a terrain (of rooms or buildings or the kindom of the Nutcracker, and larger minis to move around and make the play with. That is having a sort of stage game, in the same general form as we do battles, but well without the violence. I guess the idea would be "gaming" the romance of the story. Thanks for the correction.
